I've been learning Azure recently and I see that there are 2 classes for working with blobs: CloudBlobClient
and BlobClient
.
CloudBlobClient
is fromMicrosoft.Azure.Storage.Blob;
namespace, while BlobClient
is from Azure.Storage.Blobs
namespace.
What is the difference between them? When would you use one over the other?
The package Azure.Storage.Blobs is latest version for azure blob storage, and Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Blob is the older version.
So we suggest that you should always use the BlobClient
which is from the latest package. But if you have some old project which is using the old package, then in that case, you can use CloudBlobClient
.
